- For the first time, Operation Sindoor employed the concept of “red teaming” as part of its operational planning.
- The Red teaming involves embedding a small group of experts familiar with the adversary’s mindset, tactics and response patterns into the planning process.
- This is the first time the Indian military has tested this concept in an actual operation.
- This concept has long been a formalised component of military operations abroad - particularly during the Cold War.
- In the Indian Army, the concept was named ‘Vidur Vakta’ - after the advisor to the Pandavas in the Mahabharata.
- The Army already has a REDFOR (red forces) unit within its training command (ARTRAC) headquartered in Shimla.
